My real name is Eugen, but all my friends call me Gene.

I have made acquaintance with this world at 07.12.1960 in Sibiu, Romania (old city between the mountains). Graduated the high-school in 1978 and joined the army. Released from the army in 1980 with the sergeant rank. Start working at different companies, but never made any promotions (i didn't want to join the Communist Party). Beside my work i have spend more then 10 years of my life on cliffs climbing and speology (caves research). Made my own speology club (Pro-Speo), on 1983. This club had 186 members and we walked all the mountains and seen a lot of caves. This was my freedom in a communist country as Romania.

I have brought my contribution on the romanian "revolution"scenario from december 1989. That days i've demonstrated against Ceausescu's regime. At 20.10 P.M. on 22nd december 1989, a bullet crossed me. The bullet found he's way out through my belly.... Bleeding i was brought to the local hospital, where the doctors taked care of my wounds. I was too stubborn to die and after three weeks i could stand up again. Two months later i have funded the Organization of the Wounded People in my home city (the second in the all country). Every week we've organized demonstrations against the neo-communist regime, but without any results. The new regime was already too strong and the people who voted them too brainwashed. In the meanwhile i have joined the hungry strikers for 5 days long in Bucharest. Then i could get a visa for Holland. At 31 august 1990 i have left Romania, full of disappointment and with a heavy heart. In Holland, all this years, i have tried to build a new normal life in a free, democratic land, but the past has followed me all the time. My last wife is the most beautiful of all three a had. Ten years younger, she make me feel young too. We both have a job, but that doesn't mean we like the jobs we got...lol. Somehow, for the foreigners, the appreciation is much below the standard, compares to the natives. Somehow they will let u feel that you are a stranger. Is just a matter of a wrong mentality. Normally a foreigner must work three times harder, just to get close to the dutch people on the same level. The school we had followed in Romania is below the dutch level (they said), so that we needed to finish some extra studies. Now, because i have took some other papers, i work on chemical industry. Ironically is that at all the European Scientifically Olympics (Math, Chemistry, Biology, Fizics, etc.), the young romanian people get one of the first three places (much higher then Holland). I still fight for the claver foreigners from all over the world.
